Welcome to Dobbs Brothers Chevrolet

Tal Vickers began his career in the car business at Courtesy Honda in Memphis, TN, in 1995, working for his stepfather, John C. Dobbs, and the Dobbs Automotive Group. After the family sold the group to Republic Industries in 1997, which would later become AutoNation, brothers Tal Vickers and Jay Dobbs were given the opportunity to buy Springhill Toyota and Lexus of Mobile back from AutoNation, and the Springhill Automotive Group was formed. They were also the first dealer group to give a percentage of ownership to their managing partners.

This principle remains one of the main cornerstones of the Springhill Automotive Group. James K. Dobbs and Horace Hull both died in the 1960s but left behind an incredible legacy for generations to come. The second generation — James K. Dobbs Jr. and John Hull Dobbs Sr. — continued to grow the family business and expand into other industries such as airline catering, restaurants, and Anheuser-Busch distributorships. The third generation—John C. Dobbs and Jimmy Dobbs—expanded the automotive sector by taking on new brands such as Honda and Toyota.

They successfully operated the Dobbs Automotive Group until 1997, when they sold it to Republic Industries. Since 1999, the Springhill Automotive Group has been serving the Mobile area with an emphasis on its customers and the community. The Springhill Automotive Group currently has the fifth generation learning the business and continues to look for opportunities to expand.
